Shelton Benjamin is heading to London next month for PROGRESS Wrestling.
PROGRESS Wrestling took to social media this afternoon to announce that the former WWE Superstar will be coming to Europe next month for both days of Super Strong Style 16, tweeting out:
“ANNOUNCEMENT: As revealed by Fightful Wrestling’s Sean Ross Sapp, The Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin makes his PROGRESS Wrestling DEBUT & enters SUPER STRONG STYLE 16! This event marks Benjamin’s first appearance in a wrestling ring in Europe since his departure from WWE. http://progresswrestling.com/tickets,” PROGRESS Wrestling said in a post.
Benjamin hasn’t been overly active on the independent scene since his release in September. The Gold Standard last competed on March 9 for WWC in Puerto Rico.
Recent reports have suggested that All Elite Wrestling has been in contact with Shelton Benjamin about potentially appearing for the company in the future. But thus far, nothing has come of that report as of yet.
